Lord Roaeberry’s 4 year old Ridotto was second, and Lord Wilton’s 6 year old Cradle third. The International Handicap at Newmarket was won by Briglia. Parole did not start. The field was the smallest since 1848. The Newmarket Handicap was also won by Parole, beating Sonanong, Lina, and others. Parole is nominated for the Ascot Stakes, to be run on June 10th. This horse also won the Great Metropolitan Stakes at Epsom on 23rd. Lorrillard won something over L 20,000.
